It's Saturday and week 43 over on our "Less is More"
It's theme week and we have chosen
This tree is a new aquisition, Penny Black Slapstick 'Twinkling Tree' I absolutely love it. You can go mad or colour it subtly. Obviously me being me opted for the first option!I printed the sentiment on the computer in a turquoise in 'LD Shelley Print' font. i stamped using Versafine, Imperial Purple. I tried all different inks and because of the solid trunk only Versafine worked by far the best. The gems are a lovely turquoise, green and hot pink. I then filled the rest of the spots with opal White ~Liquid Pearls and Diamond Stickles. to finish off I dusted with Glamour Dust. It really is VERY sparkly!
We have a poll running this week and hope you will all give us your opinion.
I'm still knee deep in card making.
I'm also just in the throes of sub-contracting to a shop on the island with my wedding stationery. Exciting, yet very busy times
Have a good day and week
Thanks for stopping by and your comments, I value every one

Sorry I'm so late getting to comment Mandi; your card is fabublous. It reminds me of the butterfly you did on one of the earlier challenges. So colorful.
